Participation in online raffles / online events / use of online media
As a modern, dynamic, diverse and internationally positioned group of companies, Lindner uses social media for its marketing and for the contact with its business partners, interested parties and customers, as well as for personnel marketing purposes and for recruiting young talent.
Together with the respective online media partner, such as Facebook or Google, the respective Lindner company is responsible for the personal data of visitors and users collected or processed there.
In the course of "online events", "online raffles" etc. initiated by us, we try to inform all users and interested parties, whom we inform or encourage to participate in such an online offer via the Internet, as best as possible in advance.
We are aware of the possible interests of the online providers themselves in obtaining as much information as possible about users and participants, and we therefore select in advance as far as possible those formats which entail a relatively low risk for participants and users. In any case, we will provide information for the purposes of OUR collection of personal data.
We cannot always estimate which mechanisms online providers use in the background to collect data. But we can and want to point out these risks!
Please read the information we provide and consider to what extent you can prevent or restrict the collection of your personal data by THIRD PARTIES on the Internet, for example, through individual browser settings on your end device and the use of appropriate protection programs.

We store all personal data within the scope of the legal regulations. For the timely deletion of personal data, so-called deletion concepts exist in the entire Lindner Group. In accordance with existing legal obligations, we only delete business transactions after 10 years. Other personal data, for example, is deleted at the moment when the purpose on which the processing was based expires.
Personal data is deleted immediately, for example, if we receive a justified request for deletion from a person affected or a revocation of a given consent.
Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and the right to data transfer at any time.
We must respond within 30 days to any request for information or other request addressed to us in connection with the items described under "a)".
The extent to which your requests for e.g. "correction, deletion, restriction or revocation" are enforceable, depends on the extent to which and to what the controller is required to continue processing your personal data on the basis of a legal obligation applicable to us.
